This paper evaluates several navigation approaches for the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, which consists of a tetrahedral formation of satellites flying in highly eccentric Earth orbits. For this investigation, inter-satellite separations of approximately 10 kilometers near apogee are used for the first two phases of the MMS mission. Navigation approaches were studied using ground station two-way Doppler measurements, Global Positioning System (GPS) pseudorange measurements, and cross-link range measurements between the members of the formation. An absolute position accuracy of 15 kilometers or better can be achieved with most of the approaches studied, and a relative position accuracy of 100 meters or better can be achieved at apogee in several cases.
